Jackie Chan Theme Park Opening In Beijing

A shortie but goodie from Global Times: “Actor Jackie Chan announced he will donate at least four old buildings to the ‘Jackie Chan World Park,’ to be located in Yizhuang district, the Beijing Times reported.”

Back up a second. Jackie Chan-themed amusement park?

The two-square-kilometer park will have five themed avenues, showcasing high technology and cultural experiences. Chan plans to import several old buildings to the park from his collection. He stirred up controversy earlier this year when he donated old Anhui-style buildings to Singapore, but Chan has defended his actions.

USA Today, which has picked up this story, reports via The Malaysian Times that the park will partly be a museum, featuring Chan’s furniture and jewelry. The park will (might?) have five main paths, each with a different theme. “Cultural experiences.”
